We offer child care before and after school, and before and after Summer Camp for children ages three to 12.
Before and after school care provides a relaxing and recreational time. Following Maple Dene’s expectations of being Safe, Friendly, and Responsible, appropriate behavior is promoted within the context of respect for one another.
Child care is available before and after Maple Dene Elementary School at the rate of $4.00 per hour. Care is offered from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and during days that the Elementary School is closed (e.g. vacations, snow days, and curriculum days) and Moppet School is open.
Parents receive a school calendar listing events and scheduled closings.
